Thanks again Greg and the board! I am very lucky to have you guys as Friends o n this board!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg . . . That was a very generous gift for MJ. You should have seen him dancing when the engine fired up. I'm pretty sure he could buy 2 batteries (and put in fresh fuel) and run it "as-is" without having to do anything. Compression was 115 - 120 on all 4 cylinders.

MJ - I have a Hynautic hydraulic RAM . . . you'll need a helm and hoses. I used a seastar 1.7 helm with this ram for a while and then switched to a K-6 ram this year.
